Attention: Alerts and Closures
Recreation alert: Check DNR's Burn Portal for current campfire restrictions and fire information.
Campsites are available first-come, first-served at no additional cost with the purchase of your Discover Pass. A limited number of reservation sites are available at the Elbe Hills ORV Campground in Elbe Hills State Forest. Use our Interactive Recreation Map to scout out your next adventure and then be sure to check below to make sure the site you would like to visit is open as some sites close for winter.
DNR CAMPING TIPS
- Always practice the seven Leave No Trace principles. Garbage services aren't provided. If you pack it in, pack it out.
- Please be respectful of other visitors and observe quiet hours from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.
- Always check for burn bans before you light your campfire.
- Don't Move Firewood: Help protect Pacific Northwest forests by preventing the spread of invasive species. Firewood can carry insects and diseases that can threaten the health of our western forests. Please purchase your firewood near your campsite. Visit Dontmovefirewood.org for more information.
- Don't forget your Discover Pass! The annual Discover Pass is transferable between two vehicles and must be displayed in your front windshield while parked at DNR sites. A Discover Pass is not needed if you just want to drive through an area and don't plan to leave your vehicle. It is also not required for our campgrounds only accessible via boat. Visit the Discover Pass website to learn more or purchase yours: www.discoverpass.wa.gov
